NEBRASKA TRAP Speed Kings Who Will Clash in New York ENTER EASTERN TRACK MEETING Seventeen Schools Enter Ath letes in Forty-Second Annual Intercollegiate Champion ship Event. By FRANK QUIGLEY. Several of the managers have been using their talking machinery for the purpose of expounding to others the sorrowful tale that the association does not schedule the games at the various municipal lots according to the laws of justice. They are of the tpinion that each team should rotate iround the circuit of diamonds, and, f course, looking at it from a play ers' angle, their view would merit the ttaftp of approval. It is the duty of fne directors to sausiy me yuum. Mow, the two parks that draw crowds ire Riverviewand Thirty-second and Dewey avenue. Fans go to these parks from all parts of the city to see a, couple of good games. Now, if a team guarding the basement was schedule to meet the topnotcher of their league and the game winked out with a 19-to-0 score, would the fans be as strong as mustard for the rotate system? The directors can't always pick the best bet for the above parks, out as a general rule the 3:30 p. m. games are live ones- Last Sunday the last game at Riverview park checked out, score 8 to 7, and the 3:30 p. m. duel at Thirty-second and Dewey ave nue punched out 4 to 3. It is impos sible to utilize the rotate system and ' satisfy the fans and the fans are the backbone of amateur base ball, so managers with a hammer use it to drive your team in line for the choice Jots.

This will be the feature event of a speed carnival that will inaugurate the automobile racing season. This event promises to eclipse the events of former years, as many of the Manawa Anglers Capture Many Bass and Crappies Fishermen at Lake Manawa say crappie and bass fishing was never better than this spring. Last fall for the third consectuive year, fish and game wardens seined the lake and removed all objectionable kinds of fish. "I saw them make a couple of hauls with the sein," said Bill Fry, one of the lake's most noted fisher men. "And I never dreamed there were such big bass and crappies any where. There were some whoppers thrown back into that lake." Crappies are being caught along the shore, near the docks, while out on the edge of the rushes the bass fishing is best.

Duray holds the world's record average of 147 miles an hour. WHO EARNED IT From Last King of Poland his name? O Zbyszko hails from Poland. That accounts for it, you say. It does. But Zbyszko isn't Zbyszko's name at all. His real name is Cyganewiecs. Worse and more of it, say you. But try to pronounce Zbyszko correctly and then try to pronounce Cygane wiecs correctly. - If you lean toward consonants, and vowels mean noth ing in your young life anyway, you probably can do it. But, no matter, here's how Zibby accumulated that terrible collection of sneezing con sonants. Zibby's grandfather some years ago was a wrestler. He was quite a wrestler, too, and a favorite of King Poniatowski, the last king of the Poland kingdom. The king took such a fancy to Zibby's grandparent that he bestowed the name of Zbyszko upon him. A terrible af fliction, perhaps you say, but not so in Poland for Zbysco is a title his toric of the country. It means strength. Zibby was born in Prysmil, in Rus sian Poland, but at an early age went to Cracow, a province of Galicia now owned by the Austrians. He started wrestling in his teens. He won the Warsaw tournament when on a school vacation. After that tourney Wladek continued to wrestle as a sport of recreation much as American boys play base ball and foot ball. He won the Budapest, Vienna, Hamburg and Petrograd tournaments, but since the war he isn't bragging about those achievements. Pay No Attention. Finally Wladek, following tans law, came to America. America paid no attention to him. America esti mated Wladek as a four-flusher traveling on his brother's reputation and refused to have anything to do with him. But Wladek stuck around and got a few matches. He wrestled Roller, Cutler, Westergaard. Ordeman and Hussane. He made short work of them all despite the fact that he was shifting from the Graeco-Roman style to the catch-as-catch-can of the United States. Then Zibby recrossed the water to Paris. He won the Paris tournament, wrestling Joe Rogers, the American Apollo as somebody with" a sense of humor called him, in the finals. He threw Rogers in one hour and 20 minutes. From Paris, he journeyed to Buenos Aires and won the Casino tournament there by beating Alex ander Aberg in the finals. He later won another tournament at Monte vidio and then returned to this coun try in 1914. He has been here since. This completes the history of the "mighty son of Poland," as gleaned from his press agent. The press agent also says Zibby will make mince meat out of Joe Stecher Tuesday night He is very confident of this since Carl Marfisi hung up the $1,000 bonus to the winner of the first fall The sight of money always makes Zibby wild, the press agent says Sure, he 8 a wrestler. New York, May 25. That athletics continue to hold interest at the east ern colleges is amply demonstrated by the remarkable entry list received for the 42d annual championship track and field games of the Intercollegiate, Amateur Athletic association. Seven teen of the 28 institutions holding membership in the organization had entered teams at the time of the for mal closing and this number is likely to be augmented by several more at the special meeting to be held in Philadelphia on May 31, the opening day of the games. If the majority of the delegates present vote in favor of permitting what would virtually be post-entries, Harvard and the Uni versity of Pittsburgh athletes will surely be among the starters later in the day, with a possibility of repre sentation from one or two more col leges. That more than two-thirds of the members of the Intercollegiate Ama teur Athletic association should be able to enter teams under the present wartime conditions existing at the various institutions came as a sur prise to the officers of the association, particularly in view of the fact that the annual meet was abandoned last season for the first time since the initial games in 1876. While it is not expected that the number of entrants will be as large as would have been the case under normal conditions, more varsity combinations will be seen upon the track and field than were anticipated, after allowing for the absence of the far western insti tutions, Stanford and California. Cornell Has Two Legs. Although few record breaking per formances are anticipated there is cer tain to be an exciting struggle for places, points and the possession of the cup emblematic of the cham pionship of 1918. Cornell has two legs on the trophy at the present time, which must be won five times, but nec essarily in succession, to become the permanent property of any one col lege. So far as can be judged in advance, Cornell's chances of capturing the cup for a third time are not any brighter than those of several of the other in stitutions. It can be said in this con nection, however, that the Ithaca uni versity will not use freshmen in the championship games, as has been er roneously stated. Cornell has a rule which bars freshmen from competing upon varsity teams of all sports and there is no intention of departing from this regulation. Of the 41 meets held to date Har vard has won close to one-third, the Crimson athletes having captured the championship no less than 13 times since 1880, the initial year of Har vard's triumph. Yale holds second place, with nine championships; Penn sylvania third, with eight, and Cornell fourth, with seven. Princeton won the first set of games held in 1876 and Columbia took the next three in a row, which close the first place career of both colleges. In total number of points scored Yale holds first place, with 75037-60; Harvard second, with 65413-14; Pennsylvania third, with 553; Cornell fourth, with 426-tf; Princeton fifth, with 335, and Mich igan sixth, with 190 1-6.

PASSING OF BIG JESS LOOMS ON FISTIC HORIZON Disaster of Willard-Fulton Match Means That Heavy weight Champ Will Never i Fight Again. By RINGSIDER. Chicago, May 25. Now that the Jess Willard-Fred Fulton heavy weight championship battle it off . until after the war, which practically means for good, the passing of Jess Willard will probably follow soon. Some match for war charities might be arranged, but it is hardly probable.. Public sentiment seems to have been so thoroughly aroused against a heavyweight match that there is little likelihood of Willard ever gettinfr into the ring again in a title bout. Willard will probably retire. He never did care much for the fight game, engaging in it merely as means to an end; that is, the amass- ' ing of a fortune. This he has done and it will not be necessary for him to enter the ring again for the mere purpose of swelling his bank account With Willard disposed of, there re mains only two men in the heavy weight field; Fulton and Jack Demp sey, the Pacific coast slugger. Demp sey always hankered for a crack at Jess, but whether he will have anj success in luring Jess into the rin for a 10-round bout is quite prob- . lematical. He must look to Fulton il he wants a chance at the title, whicl probably will be in the air if Willart, retires. Fred Not Anxious. Dempsey, 'tis said, is willing to mL. it with 1-red, but the plasterer is not so anxious. Bu. if he wants to get. t battle for any appreciable amount ot money he will have to take on Jack . for Jack is the only formidable war rior now in sight. That Dempsey is the best wat shown in his recent battle wkh Bill Miske. Last minute worries brougli - on by John the Barber Keisler pul Dempsey out oi sorts just betore the fight, and in his efforts to-overcome tiiem he overtrained and was not a: his best in the ring with Miske. Stil ' he pounded Billy about as he wilier and once got home a pile driver. Hat he been trained to the minute there il little doubt that he would have pa' Miske away. Kelly Puts in Boost "Spider" Kelly, a keen judge oi fighters, one whose opinion is to b reckoned with, saw the Miske-Demp-sey bout and paid this tribute to tn -Pacific coast slugger: "Dempsey demonstrated to me it this battle that he is one of the great est fighters ever. His class was showi ' the instant he entered the ring an began slamming his man around First one hand went the left in th third round and then the other thi right going in the seventh. Jack will be the next champion t they give him the chance to fight foi it. He is a natural distance battlei and in 20 rounds there isn't a man ii the world who has a chance with him and this takes in all of them, irre spective." Call of Small City. The call of the small city has beet, heard by one of the leading bantams of the country. Earl Puryear has announced that he is going to move to Peoria, 111., and after he has cleaned up a few fights around the country he will go to the t&wn made famous by Jack Ryan and Jim Kenny. Puryear is one of the brightest men now in the bantam division. "One loses his identity in a big town," he says. "If you know 20 people in it you don't know anybody. But if you know 20 of the real fellows in a town like Peoria, you know the whole town." Earl is of French extraction, having been born in the south of France. 1 His parents brought him here when ; he was 4 years old and he afterward claimed Denver as" his home. Tendler Gets Coin. To show how fast some of the box ers make money look at this: Levi Tendler, the Philadelphia newsboj lightweight, is reported to havt cleaned up over $15,000 in the last eight months. This sum was netted in 13 fights. Minneapolis Athlete Wins 1918 Conference Medal George Hauser, AU-American ' tackle, and track star of the Universi ty of Minnesota, won the 1918 West em conference medal at the Universe ty of Minnesota. A medal is award-' ded annually to the senior who is ad ' judged to have served the university ' best in athletics with' scholarshij and character taken into considera tion. Hauser played three years of foot ball Practically every critic gave him a position on their mythical all star elevens last year. Hauser wai considered the best shot putter in thi ' conference this spring. He enlisted '' in the naval service and is awaiting orders to report at the school for en signs in Chicago.
